How Often Do You Touch Up Your Makeup Throughout the Day?

The other night I went out for dinner and a movie with some friends. To my surprise, one of the girls whipped out her powder compact twice during the meal to touch up her T-zone, and she reapplied her lip gloss at least a half dozen times throughout the evening. She paid no mind to her display of applying makeup in public, considering that she put on gloss while standing on a crowded line to buy popcorn!

It got me thinking that this gal probably reapplies all day long. I put on my face in the morning and then clean up any eyeliner that inevitably finds its way into my little eye wrinkles by the end of the day. Besides that I'll put on gloss before I go out, but that's about it. How often do you touch up your makeup throughout the course of a day?

I don't use a lot of make up on regular days. I use kohl for my eyes and lipbalm. I go to the wash room 2-3 times a day to brush my hair and reapply balm and kohl but not in public. I sometimes may have to apply lip balm at my desk but thats coz my lips tend to get dry due to the AC.

if i need to, i touch up but i go into the bathroom or when no one's looking. i get made fun of by my friends when i reapply lipgloss or fix my eyeliner and i feel a bit stupid =T but who doesn't look into a mirror for a few seconds if there is one? i like looking presentable and 'nice'. meh, im just a girl! =)

I usually blot my T-zone with oil sheets, as I have combination skin and I'm guilty of re-applying lip balm occasionally throughout the day too. Other than that though I try not to touch my face after my makeup is on.

i rarely reapply makeup throughout the day. usually, if it's on, it's on. i'll only redo, my makeup if i'm going out at night or something like that. the only thing i ever put on in public is chapstick.

Right, it definitely depends on the day. On work days I might use a blotting paper on my T-zone in the ladies room...unless I have a big meeting, in which case I might touch up anything that looks like it's gone awry. But if I'm going out for drinks or dinner or etc. after work, I'll sneak back in and reapply eyeliner, blot once more, brush on a little bronzer or powder. The only thing I do in PUBLIC, though, is swipe on lip gloss.

I do. After blotting my oily face I touch up with a bit of powder. And since winter in Canada is horrible - I often fix my eyeliner and reapply ( cold wind = eyes constantly tearing ) anddd I use a bit of concealer around my nose and lips ( gets red ). But if everything is in check, I won't touch my face :)

I'm with some of the girls bailaor..... & Masquera..... I don't re-apply I blot the oily face at/after lunch, lipstick whenever necessary and sometimes eyeshadow at end of day. And what's with the touching up in public? I do all the time, but I don't try to be obvious or anything. Applying through dinner is a bit weird though, after dinner is a-okay. On the other hand - applying your full face in the car, train, subway, etc. on your way to work is a big no-no to me. Get your butt up earlier and make yourself presentable to the world before you leave home.

I don't normally bother with re-applying, unless I have sore lips and need lipbalm.
When I was in school I had a friend who took 5 minutes at the end of every lesson to reapply her make up before going out to break.
I don't know why, but I find it kind of disgusting when people put make up on when I'm on the train in the morning, they should get up 5 minutes earlier or use a bathroom.
